2010 Toyota Prius complaints

The Brake Booster assembly for nearly all 2010 Toyota Prius has innate failure over time. It is a faulty, known-issue part. Toyota offered some limited-time warranty extension fixes instead of a full recall. My Toyota dealership informed my that my part needs the fix, as would be expected, but that I am not within the limited warranty. As this is a safety issue and the part has given out, I am stuck. I contacted Toyota directly and via email as well and they refused to do anything while acknowledging the part was their fault. They were very snooty about the fact that a full recall had not happened yet, and gleeful to deny me service.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while driving, the brake lights, ABS, and check engine warning lights illuminated. There was an abnormal noise detected. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed that the brake booster assembly needed to be replaced. Additionally, the contact was informed that the vehicle was not safe to drive. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000. The VIN was not available.

I have recently bought a 2010 Prius. The ABS (!) , traction control, and emergency brake light all illuminated three days after I transferred title with the dmv. This apparently is a very common problem with this car. I am told that these lights lead to a very expensive repair. My primary concern is my safety and of course the safety of others. A car that has brakes that suddenly fail is lethal. I was advised by a helpful agent that these repairs would come out of my pocket. My complaint is that Toyota should be responsible for this. I cannot drive this vehicle at the moment because I refuse to endanger anyone.

The dash lights on my 2010 Prius went all dark, lost all information on my dash. No lights on dash, no fuel gauge, no speedometer, nothing. This is very dangerous to suddenly have happened and I don't see a recall from Toyota to address this problem.

Hazards lights came on and would not go off, with increased speed hazards flashed faster. Toyota stated that ABS actuator and relay needed to be replaced.

1. This 2010 Prius has a faulty design of the piston rings, which is allowing it to burn more than 1.4 Qts of engine oil. 2. Such high consumption of engine oil causing an environmental pollution. 3. Furthermore, I took it to the local Toyota Dealer I.e. Maguire Toyota located in Ithaca, NY, they never chose to diagnose it or repair it. 4. I reached out to the Toyota and the Toyota still isn’t helpful w.r.t this high consumption of engine oil.

Parked with car running. Car started beeping (beep beep beep) incessantly. Turned off. When I turned 2010 Prius back on, the beeping came back. Brakes DID NOT WORK. Dash error said "CHECK PCS SYSTEM" and many warning lights were on. Pressing brakes didn't stop vehicle.

As many other 2010 Prius drivers have experienced, my brake actuator has failed. This has resulted in loss of braking and potential harm.

Seek exteral brake fluid no external leaks found ABS pump noise probable abs pump flalure leak

Code C1391 master cylinder internal leak

ABS pump failed, all the lights came on the dash for brake, and brakes stop working properly it still drives but unsafe to do so, Toyota says it’s common problem and they want $3000 to replace it

ABS brake booster slow leak. There are many reporting the same problem on YouTube as a $3000 repair.

Brake assist has failed. Appears to be master cylinder assembly and/or pump? Brake related error lights and safety systems disabled. Very difficult to drive vehicle without power brakes. Car only has 106k miles on it, and too old for enhanced warranty coverage (acknowledged problem). This is not some 20 year old car with 300k miles on it.

First problem the light on my dashboard appeared. My braking is starting to not work properly. When i press the pedal it feels soft, and the brakes are not bitting well. Next thing my abs is not working, that i skid multiple times, and that cause me a few times to almost get into an accident. I had few fender bender issues, but no major damage collision. I end up paying for the repairs of my car, and have the receipt to prove it. Also before having all these issues, with the regenerative braking itself, if i happen to hit a pothole, even thou i’m pressing the brake pedals. It causes the car to accelerate. This only happens during traffic stops that i’m already pressing the brakes, but for some reason if i hit a pothole, like i mentioned above. That car accelerates, and thus cause me to almost hit the car in front of me. I was aware of this issue, so to compensate, i pressed the brake pedals harder whenever this incidents happen.

My 2010 Prius is experiencing brake booster failure. Brake assist appears to be lost. Feels unsafe to drive since braking distance feels longer. Unsure if stability control is working. Hybrid battery not recharging from braking. Warning lamps include: 1) Brake System Warning Light (red indicator); 2) Brake System Warning Light (yellow indicator); 3) ABS Warning Light; and 4) Electronic Stability Control Active Warning Light. OBD-II trouble code: C1391 (abnormal leak in accumulator). Spoke with representative Tracy at Toyota Customer Experience Center (888-270-9371) on 7/30/2021 (Case #210730000924) and Randall at Toyota Customer Experience Center on 8/3/2021 about repair through Toyota. Both representatives acknowledged that Toyota was aware of the brake booster failure from owners. Randall acknowledged that many owners have complained to Toyota about brake booster failure and that is it commonly reported to Toyota, hence Toyota issued a Toyota Customer Support Program Notification ZJB. However, I am told that coverage for my Prius under Notification ZJB has expired, that there is not a recall for the defective parts, and that Toyota will not assist with fixing this problem for my car. I believe this problem is a safety issue and that Toyota needs to issue a recall as soon as possible to remedy this known defect.

MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SUDDENLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE PRIUS LAST MONTH; 'ABS', 'BRAKE', AND 'TRACTION CONTROL' WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE BRAKING FUNCTION WAS NOT NORMAL. HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL A LOT MORE FOR THE BRAKE TO BE APPLIED. ALSO BATTERY IS NO LONGER RECHARGING ON APPLYING BRAKES. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (FRED ANDERSON, RALEIGH, NC). THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR IS $4045. THE CAR IS 2010 MODEL (11 YRS) AND HAS 106000 MILES. THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM AND IN MY OPINION AND DESIGN FLAW AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THIS. PLEASE HELP.

All my lights are on traction, brake, ABS!

Brake light, ABS light, and traction control light all illuminated on dashboard. Took the vehicle to Toyota dealership and they determined I needed to replace the brake booster/accumulator and pump assembly, cost was $3,000.00. Looking into this issue further it is an extremely common issue and should be a recall item.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 220,000.

After buying the car from Liquidation Station (used car dealer) the day after we bought the (2010 Prius Hybrid) the breaks went completely out. My daughter and grandchild were in the car and she almost crashed in to on coming traffic putting them in extreme danger of being killed. We had the car towed to Caldwell Toyota in Conway AR. and they said the break booster had failed and that they would not cover the cost of the repairs even though there are several complaints of break failure and several recalls for this car.

While driving on a highway at night around 60 mph, brake light turned on then AB light then slip light. Nothing else happened but since this hadn’t happened before, I pulled over, turned off car, waited a bit then turned back on. Car still worked although these lights stayed on. Continued driving to get home at reduced speed (around 45-50) plus with blinkers on with mental note to take to the dealer next morning. A few miles out, a loud unchanging alarm went off and I couldn’t use my brakes no matter how hard I pressed on them. I was able to glide off an exit that was near and making right turns get into a lot. Also neither of the brake pad nor the parking button was working so I couldn’t stop the car but then I hit power to shut down and that was able to stop it. Called for towing to dealer the following day. They say it’s the brake booster and that I have to pay out of pocket since it passed a recall but this is a dangerous issue with the car. If the light had been red and a car crossing, without brakes I would have gotten into an accident and since I bought it used last year, I wouldn’t have even known about this being an issue. There shouldn’t be a date limit on this recall, if models of Toyota Prius needs the recall and it hadn’t been done by previous owner, it needs to be done as this is a really traumatizing and potentially deadly issue.

I was driving when the car started to beep constantly. I tried to turn on a road to check it out and realized I had no brakes. I passed the road I was trying to turn on and had to coast to a stop down the road. If this had happened while coming to a red light, there is no way I would have been able to avoid a wreck. I did some research and found that they extended the warranty on the brake booster and assembly pump. The thing is I had taken the car in because the abs, brakes, and traction control lights came on last year. They acted like they had no clue what was wrong and just unplugged the battery and hooked it back up to make sure the lights went off. The lights were off for less than a mile and when I called back they acted clueless and said for $200 out of pocket they can do more extensive testing but said they saw nothing wrong and that the car was driving normally. How does Toyota have a major problem that they extend the warranty and the Toyota dealership knows nothing about it and can’t give me answers when I have the exact issues the extended warranty is supposed to cover? I could have been seriously injured and hurt someone else and Toyota doesn’t care. Their representative told me that they had done enough and it was on me to fix the problem as now I was no longer covered under their extended warranty. This is a major safety issue and needs to be a recall before someone gets seriously hurt. Toyota knows there is a problem but refuses to hurt their bottom line to p

The headlights on my car would get very dim and would burnout within 4 to 6 months. As time has past the time between bulb replacement would get shorter and shorter. At this point when I plug replacement bulbs into my car the burnout instantly. Without low beam headlights I am required to drive with my high beams on at all times. The dealer and the manufacture know about the problem and there was a notification regarding this issue with the headlights, but I was not sent this notice. Had I been sent the notice from Toyota I would have brought my car into the dealership for them to inspect the light problem. From what I have learned from Toyota is that there was never a recall on this issue. Headlights on a car I would think would be considered a major safety feature and should not have an expiration date on such a repair issue. The program to fix the issue was called Customer Support Program ZHB which allowed the dealers to correct the problem. How would anyone know that there was a problem unless they get a notification.

Actuator and brake cylinder have gone. ABS, traction, and brake lights all have gone on. This is a very common issue with this car, and I am expected to pay $3,000 for this fix.

Check hybrid system light ignites, slows down vehicle in middle of high speed highway. First incident November of 2020 then several incidents after. Repair shops don't assure problem according to error codes & they recommend possibilities they cannot assure will resolve the problem. Car was taken into local dealership after receiving recall notice for software and airbags prior to November 2020 when the issue began. Software update took a couple of hours. Restart/reboot temporarily allowed driving again. Most recently the system entirely shut down & the car will not start or run. Abandoned car on side of the road and got heat exhaustion from walking the rest of the way home and had vehicle towed. Error lights come on including "check hybrid system" says "shift to P position when starting" and will not allow start.

The brakes failed while driving. The traction, ABS and brake light all came on, on the dashboard and the brakes were working at 10% or less. I had to use the engine braking mode to stop the car. I took it to a technician and this is a known issue that Toyota is ignoring.

ABS light and brake light comes on and goes away on my toyota prius 2010

While driving on an uncrowded 2 lane rural highway at approx. 4pm on June 20th, 2021, I heard what sounded like a gunshot in my ear. I quickly looked around at my interior & saw no broken windows. I had no driving issues, but pulled over safely to inspect the exterior of my vehicle. As soon as I opened my driver's door & exited, I turned to close the door & saw that my sunroof had basically exploded. It was jagged & missing pieces around 3 of 4 edges. I was an hour from home & wanted to make sure I arrived safely. En route I heard chunks falling off & by the time I got home the middle portion had rippled & gaping holes were visible.

I have a 2010 Toyota Prius. I was driving home on I-80 and when I was getting down on the slope of the Sacramento river bridge, three lights suddenly popped on the dashboard - ABS light, Brake light and Traction control light. Following this, I lost efficient control on the brakes and I had to push really hard on the brake pad to even slow the car down. If I had to stop suddenly, it would have definitely resulted in a serious crash. Because the brakes stopped working as they are supposed to, I turned on the blinkers, took the exit and tried to stop slowly. I was able to stop on the side of the road just before the red signal. I was just couple of miles from my home so I kept the blinkers on, and slowly drove through internal roads to my home. Later when I found out the code, it came as C1391 which is usually for failure of the brake booster assembly or the brake booster pump assembly or both. When I contacted my local Toyota dealership, they mentioned that the extended warranty for replacing these parts ended in November 2020 and because of that they asked me to take care of this >$3000 repair. I also contacted Toyota corporate to file a complaint and was told the same thing. This issue is a serious safety concern and Toyota should issue a recall and not an extended warranty. They should not be waiting for people to loose their lives before they issue a recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the automatic braking system failed and the brakes were making a strange sound and not responding as soon as the brake pedal was depressed. The ABS, brake, and stability control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with hydraulic brake booster pump failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the vehicle was over the extended warranty coverage. The failure mileage was 118,000.

While driving in the highway had several times hard situations. Yesterday and truck became in front in my lane while, I had brake fast the car started loosing control and ended up on the side of the road. Is like the brakes makes the car loose all the control in a bad situation instead of help to prevent accidents. Each time I go to Toyota I had mentioned this issue, but they say there's not recalls available. Sometimes I think I will die because of this.

Code 1391. just like many others Toyotas of this year

My problem began when I pressed my brakes and instead it accelerated. I thought maybe my foot slipped and didn’t know what it meant. It happened again a few weeks later and then all of the dash lights went on that indicated that I had to have the big brake recall repair. Being that my car is past the 10 year warranty and past the extension for mileage, I had to pay out of pocket. This repair was done and upon receiving my car back, the gas mileage instantly began to drop. It went from averaging 42-48MPG in my town to 25-30MPG. I took it in the be looked at and they ensured me nothing was wrong with the car AT ALL. The battery wasn’t holding charge on top of this and it wasn’t reading the same on the dash about the 0-100 current gas mileage you’re getting as you go (the lines scale thing) that goes up when you let off the gas, and I could feel a strange shift while I was driving so I took it in again. They told me this time it’d be $110 to diagnose even though it was the same issue that started after the brake system repair, so I left extremely upset. A few days later my cars steering went out while I was driving and the whole hybrid system died. The car now only works in power mode. The consumer stated the car was taken in for a brake recall and had to pay $2800 in repairs. The consumer stated what they thought was a battery failure turned out to be the beginning of an electrical motor failure related to overheating.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated the check hybrid system warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to her residence. The vehicle was pushed to an independent mechanic nearby her residence however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 282,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start up. The contact stated that the hybrid system warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer where it was diagnosed with the inverter needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V684000 (Hybrid propulsion system) for which the VIN was included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, while coming to a stop on wet pavement, the vehicle failed to stop and crashed into the vehicle ahead of him. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries sustained. The contact stated that whenever the roads were wet, excessive force on the brake pedal was needed to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 208,000.

While driving at highway speed on Interstate 87 in New York, the 2010 Toyota Prius suddenly lost power while multiple warning lights on the dashboard illuminated, along with a "Check Hybrid System" notification. The engine would operate but at significantly reduced power. I drove it to an independent garage to identify the diagnostic trouble codes, which included P0A94 and P324E, an inverter problem with the hybrid battery and a problem with the intelligent power module. The currently is currently awaiting a confirm diagnosis at a Toyota dealership in New Jersey, but the problem is exactly what thousands of other 2010 - 2014 Prius owners have reported, yet Toyota has yet to issue a recall to replace the inverter.

Impending failure of the brake booster / brake booster pump assembly. ABS and brake warning lights remain on and a constant electrical whining sound can be heard from the brake booster assembly. Toyota is aware of the problem and offered a customer support program that expired in 2019 ( https://attachments.priuschat.com/attachment-files/2019/12/178663_162714_ZJB_Phase_2_.pdf )

THE TRACTION , ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING OVER A SMALL POTHOLE

REGENERATIVE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN CLEAR CONDITIONS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKES LIGHTS ON DASH ILLUMINATED. ALMOST CRASHED AS BRAKE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE PRESSED REALLY HARD AND ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE CAR. KNOWN ISSUE AND DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM

I WAS DRIVING AND THREE LIGHTS CAME OUT: ABS, BRAKE AND SLIP INDICATOR.

I WAS JUST TOLD THAT MY 2010 PRIUS NEEDS THE BRAKE BOOST ASSEMBLY (CYLINDER AND BOOST) AT A COST OF $2,570. IT WAS CAUSING MY 4 MONTH OLD, 12V BATTERY TO DRAIN. I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUTRAGEOUS SO I LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN "ENHANCED EXTENDED" WARRANTY ISSUED (NOT A RECALL) , BUT FOR MY VEHICLE IT EXPIRED APRIL 2020. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I UNCOVERED THAT THIS PART ALSO CAUSES THE PRIUS TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN BRAKING AND YOU HAPPEN TO DRIVE OVER A BUMP. TRAIN TRACKS, OR POTHOLES WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WITH MY PRIUS. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS SO FAR. I HAVE READ THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES A 2015 PRIUS. IS ANYTHING MORE BEING DONE? OR ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT UNTIL MORE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN? I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS ISSUE WHEN MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS 12V BATTERY REQUIRED FREQUENT JUMP STARTS. I REPLACED THE BATTERY ($300) DEC 2020. PRIOR TO THAT, I CALLED AAA AND GOT A JUMP START. BECAUSE OF COVID, I WASN'T DRIVING THE VEHICLE DAILY (WORK FROM HOME) SO IT WAS ASSUMED THE CAUSE WAS THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE DRIVEN FREQUENTLY.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2010. TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID. TWO WEEKS AGO THE ABS LIGHT, EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED $2000 WORTH OF WORK. BRAKE BOOSTER/MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY, BRAKE ACTUATOR INTERNAL LEAK. BRAKES ACTING WEIRD. DEALERSHIP SAYS I DON'T NEED TO DRIVE CAR, JUST PAY $2000 WHICH I DON'T HAVE. THEY SAID TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO DECEMBER 2020, WHICH JUST PAST. I NEVER GOT LETTER SAYING IT WAS A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN HER DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. AS A RESULT, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE RAN INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED.THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND WAS TAKEN TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AS OF YET. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,991. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.*DT

I WAS DRIVING AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A TURN. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN I NOTICED SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD INCLUDING BRAKE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL. THE BRAKES WERE VERY MUSHY BUT WORKED ENOUGH TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP. THE SHOP ASSESSED THE VEHICLE WHICH DISPLAYED CODE C1391 AND SAID IT WAS BRAKE RELATED POSSIBLY ABS SYSTEM. THEY CLEARED THE CODE IN MY VEHICLE AND BRAKES WORKED NORMAL FOR A VERY SHORT TIME BEFORE THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND BRAKES WENT MUSHY AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I THEN LOOKED UP POSSIBLE RECALLS OR ENHANCED WARRANTIES AND I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL OR EXTENDED/ENHANCED WARRANTY FOR ANY BRAKING ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME TO TEST FOR A CODE. THEY CAME UP WITH CODE C1391 AND STATE IN THEIR PAPERWORK THAT THE CAUSE IS "BRAKE BOOSTER INTERNAL FAILURE" AND RECOMMEND REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEIR PAPERWORK SHOWS REPLACEMENT OF A BRAKE PUMP AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THAT IT EXPIRED 9/26/2020. THEREFORE THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX MY CAR AT THE COST OF TOYOTA. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 91,000 MILES AND OTHERS WITH HIGHER MILEAGE HAVE DOCUMENTED THAT TOYOTA HAS REPAIRED THIS KNOWN, WELL DOCUMENTED, EXPENSIVE (ABOUT $4,000) AND CONTINUED DANGEROUS BRAKING PROBLEM IN SEVERAL CASES. PER THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CONTACT WITH TOYOTA THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPAIR MY VEHICL

TRAVELING HOME FROM TAMPA TO ST. PETERSBURG ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY BREAKS FAIL. BRAKE, ABS, AND TRACTION LIGHTS COME ON. PUSHED PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WAS ABLE TO GET ENOUGH BRAKING TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE AND INTO A GAS STATION AND INTO A PARKING SPOT SAFELY. NO WARNING-JUST IMMEDIATE FAILURE. MIRACLE NO ONE KILLED. READING MANY OTHER SIMILAR STORIES FOR YEAR. WHAT IS GOING ON THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF TAMPA BAY (1101 E FLETCHER AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612: (813) 402-1323) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 152,000.

I INHERITED A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS 3RD GENERATION WHEN MY MOTHER PASSED A FEW YEARS AGO. I'VE SINCE HAD SEVERAL UNNECESSARY AND COSTLY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AS WELL AS DEALERSHIP'S OUTLOOK, TREATMENT, AND INDIFFERENCE TO THE DANGER THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS FACE--AS MANY ALREADY HAVE. THE FOLLOWING ARE SITUATIONS THAT I'M EXPERIENCING NOW. FIRST, I WAS RECENTLY LEAVING THE PHARMACY WHEN ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS (ABS, BRAKE, TRACTION ) SUDDENLY CAME ON AND MY BRAKES FAILED AS I WAS HEADING HOME. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD AND I HAD TO GET HOME TO HER. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE FROM MY HOME AND I WAS NEARLY IN 3 ACCIDENTS THAT COULD'VE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THANKFULLY THE ROAD WAS DRY, CLEAR, AND WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. WE HAVE BEEN HOMEBOUND FOR WEEKS, WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR DOCTORS, FOOD, ETC. OUR VEHICLE IS OUR ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, AND WE MUST GET TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, ETC. SECOND, THE CAR HAS INEXPLICABLY STALLED TWICE. THIRD, I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE LIGHTS, AND HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR LIGHTS NOT WORKING. FINALLY, AN AIRBAG HAS BEEN RECALLED AND ONCE I CAN AFFORD IT I'LL GET THAT FIXED AS WELL. I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS, AND AFTER EXPLAINING THE PROBLEMS, I WAS INFORMED (SEVERAL TIMES AS I WAS REPEATEDLY TRANSFERRED) THAT I HAD TO PAY AN INSPECTION FEE THAT ALSO CHANGED WITH EACH PERSON. FINALLY, I WAS TOLD I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE FOR DAYS AND THAT I WAS GOING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE CAR. I'M UNA

JUST PURCHASE THE CAR AND THEY R REFUSING TO FIX THE ABS KNOWN ISSUE UNDER THAT ABS RECALL

MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS LEATHER SEATS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT IS COMING ON. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA RECALL THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LEATHER SEATS AND CALIBRATION.THE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE FRONT AIRBAG SO WHEN YOU SIT DOWN AND BUCKLE IN IT DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE FRONT AIRBAG. A SEATBELT AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON.
